How childish that they can't even extend to showing Arriva's journeys on what are quality partnership services. No mention made of inter-available ticketing either.

That is very annoying & quite pathetic, First don't even mention the QBP & interavalibility of tickets on the service change page, even the ticket page does not mention it, although Arriva haven't posted there timetables yet.


Although new First Day tickets for Birkenhead introduced from Sunday

Quote:New Birkenhead tickets - great value if you're only travelling a short distance
FirstDay only £4
FirstWeek only £15.

valid on services 38 and 41/42 in full, between Birkenhead and Hooton Crossroads on services 1 & 2, and valid between Heswall and Birkenhead on servicees 471/472.

Take into account that it's not up to them to advertise Arriva journeys, as is it not their responsibility to advertise Arriva's tickets either. I wouldn't put doubt on Arriva acting the same way with their timetables/fares either.

I've just had a look at Arriva timetables on routes they do QBP with Stagecoach, & although Arriva don't mention the interavalibility of tickets they list Stagecoach times & mention it's a joint service
